    PCSPECIALIST LG 27GL850-B Monitor

    I genuinely believe the LG27GL850-B is the best value 27" monitor money can buy at the time of writing. I got one in July and it truly makes my rig sing. The colours are so rich and the picture so clear. No regrets.

    PCSPECIALIST 1440p monitor recommendations?

    ...there's a side-by-side of the two LG monitors recomended in the two threads above here. Basically I don't think you can go wrong with a 27" LG IPS panel monitor! https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/lg-27gl850-vs-lg-27gl83a-b/912/1627

    PCSPECIALIST 1440p monitor recommendations?

    I posted this in a similar thread, but my advice is still pertinent... I was in a similar position to you a month ago and was agonizing over which monitor to go for. After a number of false turns I narrowed it down to two, the Asus TUF VG27AQ and the LG 27GL850. Both are 144Mhz, both support...

    If there's no difference in performance at all then that's another point in favour of the LG27GL850 I suppose. Lean and mean.

    PCSPECIALIST My First Ever Custom PC! Need Help With Purchasing the Best Monitor!

    That's true, but the point I was making is that there's another G-Synch option that involves an actual hardware module in the monitor, and the LG monitor lacks that. ...since I don't use G-Synch but Freesynch I took the sticker off the LG :).

    PCSPECIALIST Spec advice sought... paranoid about cooling

    Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who offered advice. The PC arrived on Thursday and it runs like a dream. Also picked up an LG UltraGear 27GL850-B when it was on sale at Currys and the two together are just superb. The Buyers Guide published on these forums saved me a lot of heartache...

    PCSPECIALIST Awaiting Dispatch

    Literally 30 seconds before I snapped and clicked "Collect Order" in preparation for a 90 minute drive to Wakefield, the dispatch notification came through. Delivered tomorrow. When I'm at work :(. They better let my 14 year old son sign for it!

    PCSPECIALIST Awaiting Dispatch

    Well my PC went to "Awaiting Dispatch" at 11.30pm on Monday night and is still there. Was really hoping I'd hear today that it was on it's way but it seems to have spent a whole working day in the warehouse!

    PCSPECIALIST Awaiting Dispatch

    Mine went into Awaiting Dispatch at 23.30 last night. Am also wondering the same thing. I guess it boils down to whether the courier they use is next day delivery from the point of collection.

    PCSPECIALIST Pre production working days

    I had two updates where it got closer and then one where it slipped back a day. What a tease :).

    PCSPECIALIST Spec advice sought... paranoid about cooling

    Turns out that once the Collermaster 240 is fit there isn't actually *room* for the two extra fans anyways so I've had them removed from the order. Am now waiting for it to enter production and furiously researching monitors to make 1440 a reality. Have decided a 32" is probably too big for the...
